Because he's a greedy bastard who can't finish to save his life?

And Howard can finish for his life???

That's your opinion, I can only judge him on what I've seen of him so far this season and think that's a very harsh judgement of him. Thought he was more than entitled to take that shot on last weekend and the 'acute' angle that was made out on here (I think it was by yourself) was more than acceptable to take the shot on.

Don't see how can see anything better in Howard.

Maybe he's not 100% fit, maybe he's had a poor week at training, who knows. I'm happy to trust Pearson on this one.

Perhaps. I have a feeling its more of a tactical switch rather than an injury imposed one

No! That's why I said the problem was Howard is the only choice for replacement.

I'm not saying I can see anything better in Howard, but the fact that our first choice sub is worse than Beckford has been to me just shows we definitely need more options up front.

Brighton down to 9 already!

 

[Nottingham Fox]

All kicking off down at Brighton. They're down to 9 men after only 12 mins

So if he's, as you say, worse than Beckford why's he in ahead of him? Do you think it's injury imposed? I think it's the 'battering ram' tactic for Pearson.

I never said he was worse than Howard. I can't read Pearson's mind, so I don't know why he is in the side.

I said in my post, which is the one you replied to, that Beckford deserved dropping, but that Howard is the player coming in says something about our poor options up front. That is all.

Did you predict 5-6 ?

Fludie's prediction is definitely looking as though it's out the window

Sorry meant to say worse than Beckford

Brighton down to 9 already!

First one for foul and abusive language after being flagged offside; second for violent conduct.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Brighton are bottom of the disciplinary table by a mile. Incredibly dirty team. We're 2nd bottom btw.

 

[spionfox]

We need a bit of 'flicky dicky' apparently.

WTF?

Gus Poyet wouldn't produce such an indisciplined team surely!
